Plans have been submitted to the Vale of White Horse District Council for new Padel Courts at Grove Business Park, which will front the hugely popular TFD Health & Fitness Gym unit.

 

The proposal comprises the provision of four outdoor Padel courts together with an external seating area and an ancillary kiosk structure to support the operation and use of the facility.

 

The increasingly popular and fast-growing recreational sport presents an opportunity to create a flexible, welcoming space that promotes physical activity, social interaction and community engagement, which is in line with the aspirations for the wider expansion of the Business Park and its range of amenities.

It is planned that this will open in spring 2027, following on closely from the completion of Phase One of the new development at The Park, which features three new buildings totalling 87,500 sq ft with accommodation for technology, R&D and laboratory uses.

 

Paul Arnold of atlp consulting, the Business Park’s development managers, on behalf of the Oxford Endowment Fund, commented:

“We are delighted to submit plans to add another new facility to the expanding amenities on site. Padel is such a growth activity and its social and inclusive nature makes it particularly well suited to community-focused environments, encouraging people to participate, exercise and connect with others. It builds upon and reinforces our vision for the Park to be a centre for innovation with a top-class working environment.”
